As the Internet becomes increasingly pervasive in our daily lives, we are seeing the rise of the Digital World Phenomenon, where the former notions of cyberspace and physical world merge together. This new digital world brings new challenges for software systems and their developers. There is now an open space of services, which are highly adaptive and can be combined in ad-hoc ways to develop complex systems. The complexity of this open space of services is compounded by the fact that increasingly end-user developers are creating and deploying services and applications to be used by third parties. Furthermore, infrastructures such as the Cloud are leading to what has come to be known as Internet-scale applications. New advanced modularisation approaches are needed due to the change in the nature of software systems. Further, the need for distributed application integration requires modularity over multiple language/design approaches, which is substantially different from the traditional modularisation approaches in the single application/single language perspective.
This workshop aims to explore whether the current modularity mechanisms to aid modelling and analysis of software system requirements and architectures as sufficient for this changing landscape. If not, what shape should the next generation modularity mechanisms for requirements and architecture take so that they are able to cope with this changing face of software. The workshop aims to take a retrospective look on modularity in requirements and architecture and develop a research agenda for the next 5-10 years.

On the extensibility requirements of business applications
Business applications play a crucial role for the day-to-day running of a business. These applications typically support a wide range of standard business processes like opportunity-to-order and order-to-cash. Customers using these solutions often ...
Symmetric aspect-orientation: some practical consequences
To some extent, contemporary software development has incorporated the AspectJ style of aspect-oriented programming. This style is denoted as asymmetric since it explicitly distinguishes between aspects and the base. Although academic symmetric aspect-...
On the modularity impact of architectural assumptions
In software architecture design, the end product is the combined result of a wide variety of inputs, most of which are provided by the non-technical stakeholders. These include the analysis of the problem domain, the functional and non-functional ...
Architecture composition for concurrent systems
We present a framework to assemble concurrent applications from modules that capture reusable architectural pat-terns. The framework focuses on concurrent systems where computational processes communicate through asynchronous messages. The language ...
